Crownwork achieves much the same results as veneer work. It is employed in situations where veneers would be unsuitable. Preparation for a crown involves removing slightly more tooth.

Crowns are used to replace broken, damaged or severely decayed teeth. In the past, if you needed a dental crown you had only one option: a metal crown; usually made from gold. But, with advances in the strength and durability of ceramics, you now have a choice between traditional metal crowns; porcelain crowns fused to metal; porcelain onlays; or crowns made entirely from porcelain or reinforced resin.

In situations where there is a high amount of concern about appearance, a bonded all porcelain crown (metal-free) is the nicest restoration. For the front teeth, the advantage is its natural, lifelike translucency and not having to deal with the possibility of the potentially unsightly dark line at the gumline of the tooth. For back teeth, the advantage of a porcelain crown or onlay is the conservation of healthy tooth structure and kindness to the gums.
For teeth that are toward the back but that still show when you smile, a porcelain fused to metal crown is a good choice. Because it isn't in such a prominent position, it usually looks very natural, and although it's not indestructible, it's strong enough to resist the heaviest biting stresses

'Through all of this treatment, there was no pain, only a slight discomfort when receiving the local anaesthetic, and I mean slight. it really is quite amazing. Then once the anaesthetic is in, you cannot feel a thing. (Although you can still hear Mr Hughes “sing” to radio 2).'
